For weeks past the redskins of the plains ha been making elaborate prep- arations for and looking forward to the great “Indian State Fair,’ 5 they now call it, or the “‘grand fandango,” as it has been last heretofore known. It opened here Saturday and continued throughout the week. Just beyond the post trader's store, outside and to the north of the geney grounds, in about the deepest sand that could be found in the vicinity, the P put up their teepes, wickiups 1 te y abiding-places of all Kinds and description, and on Saturday de- clared the “fair” open. It is essentially a Piute affair, and this Is their reserva- | tion, but tribesmen from Walker —River and Pit River, the Bannoc Western Shoshones, Modocs, and almost every other tribe of the plains were welcome and most of them had representatives present. The Washoes were the notable y have no res- ill-feeling ex- exception to this rule.

But the Piute “400,” together with about 200 other ordinary, more or less dirty, racher good-for-nothing, altogether lazy Indians, were on hand and conspicuously in evidence almost continually throughout ation between the ists eighbors, festi the week. It is probably the largest gath- ering and most exter demonstration the Piutes have had since their last war, in 1860-61, when Major Ormsby, Captain Storey and Lieutenant Meredith were de- feated and killed near the scene of the S vities of the week consisted prin of horse races, baseball and ¢ nces, numerous games feats of s contes ter, like or the The usual follow rength tric Piute stick pro- Com- horse ests in s and chara Nyuqu yme “call about in the me; during the nroughout the day and until the starts at night, numerous and di- chance, in which par- or a on sometimes and around which it. as forenoon, a ft ner games being for the _ake to lea s or_hc se conducted e a natura erything else Indians b no r pool_seller and no d at Ingleside to a iblic, but every Piute backs it, and backs s with eve cent he que. | f ma of the The whole crowd of es decides has won, and make no mistakes.

I have never made, and am not making, any preten- slons that we are doing this work simply for the good of the citizens of Santa Barbara or those 1iving along the iine of the pr d road without regard to the effect of the railroad owners, for we build and operate railroads as a matter of business, basing our action on our best judgment as to the probable financial out- come of the work, sometimes being fully aware that we cannot expect for several years to get much, perhaps not any, return for our invest- ment, but nevertheless satisfled and confident that the time will come when the investment will prove a paying one, and therefore we are willing to wait for our money. At the same time we do not lose sight of the fact that the improvements we make are found far more to the aggregate benefit of all those whose property is immen: enhanced in value through the facilities we give them than to our own, and we do not hesitate to say so, because it is the fact. I am glad that it is 50, although perhaps Senator Boyce may not conceive the possibility of such a sentiment existing in the mind of a railroad owner. my y matter | lieve me Finally, let me repeat agaln, that we are | ready to complete this gap as soon as it can | be well and economically done, but we do not, | of course, propose to g0 ahead blindly, with- | out knowing definitely what we are to ex- pect with reference to the rights of v mnot | In the work of clearing up such tions, 1 and my associates are fully and fairly with the | Santa Barbara and others interested with them; and I am giad to be able to | that T believe they will reciprocate as heartily on their part, for we have no fauit to find with the people of Santa Barbara, whose attitude toward us has always, been fair and friendly.
